New drawing

Finally managed to get started on a new drawing:

It was good to be amongst the charcoal, though I’m still just working from photographs*, which is not so good. However I feel the drawing from a photograph is more successful than the painting from a photograph:

The colours and form here are too intense, as if I’m compensating for the absence of model. I shall work at toning everything down a notch or six.

The drawing went okay as I worked down the figure, until I reached the feet. Always tricky doing feet and working from a photograph doesn’t make it any easier:

*still not able to afford a model … all offers of free modelling considered.
